<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;">
<p><small><span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span></small></p>






<ul>

  <small>

  </small><li><small>The number of recent files that <span style="font-weight: bold;">Password Safe</span> will keep may be configured via the <a href="system_tab.html">Manage-&gt;Options-&gt;System</a> dialog box, where you may also configure if you prefer to see the recent files in the File menu, or as a submenu.</small></li>




</ul>




<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;">
<ul>






</ul>

choice will be greyed-out.</p>










			
<h3>Save As</h3>

<h3>Export To</h3>

			an <a href="JavaScript:popup.TextPopup(strExternalFile,popFont,9,9,-1,-1)">external
			file</a> in either an old <span style="font-weight: bold;">Password Safe</span> database&nbsp;format, XML, or as text. See <a href="export.html">here</a> for

			</p>
